I was a slightly melancholy child and I think films were a way of escaping for me.

Charlie Hunnam

I was playing pretty boys and these angelic roles like Nicholas Nickleby and all that stuff. And I was like, 'What am I doing? This isn't who I am, as a man or an artist.' I had to overcome people's belief that I was too pretty to be a badass.

Charlie Hunnam

Good roles are hard to come by, and whether they're a few lines or a lead, you snap 'em up when they come along.

Charlie Hunnam

And I just want to work with good directors and good people.

Charlie Hunnam

I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult.

Charlie Hunnam

No, I do a bunch of things to entertain myself. I paint, I make music, I take photographs.

Charlie Hunnam

In a work capacity I'm only interested in acting and producing.

Charlie Hunnam

I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year.
